We watched the 2012 Disney XD cartoon Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja!

Norrisville High School has been haunted by an evil sorcerer and protected by a ninja guardian for centuries, and every four years, a new freshman ninja is chosen. Randy is that ninja! With the help of his best friend Howard Weinerman, he sights off all the sudden monster attacks that his school has grown used to.

We discuss the surprisingly complex lore of the show, the questionable role that ninjas inhabit in pop culture outside their Asian origins, parkour, robots, black and white art films, and the time our dad got so invested in a chili cookoff that he bought his own meat grinder.
